Romantic Love Letters


Love Letter Inspirations

Have you ever read a love letter or card that simply melted your heart? Have you ever written a love letter yourself? While I don’t have the time or the room to write the complete letter, I found a few honest to goodness notes and letters that would make a heart of stone melt like butter. Use these as a guide and write a letter to your one true love. Letter writing has seemed to become a thing of the past. Modern technology has turned our generation into a texting, emailing, cell phone-calling people. My daughter has looked everywhere for stationary to write our hero while in Iraq, and she finally had to settle on kid’s paper! Why not write a letter to someone and actually mail it the old fashioned way- the post office!

My Sweet love, the very air I breathe. Without you, I would die, because you are my life, my love, my light in the darkness… Please love me forever, as I will never stop loving you…you are the air I breathe…and you make my life complete.

With every heartbeat, my love lives on. Hold my heart, feel it beat. Lay your breast upon my heart and become one with me. I love your forever…and you will forever be in my heart. Take my hand and walk beside me for the rest of my life.

My Dear Love, Promise me you will never leave me. I couldn’t live without you. I don’t want to even try. Stay with me, marry me, have my babies. I promise to love you, to cherish you, to hold you. I love you until the end of time…and I will never stop loving you. I am blessed to have you in my life.

Hello my beautiful, today was the best day of my life. You gave my heart a leap as I watched you dancing in the sunshine. And when we kissed, my heart melted within me. I never knew such happiness existed and I found it in you…Thank you for loving me. Promise me you will always dance in the sunlight with me.

Will you marry me?
My Joy, When I saw walking down the isle with your father at your side, I couldn’t believe how incredibly lucky I am. If I am dreaming, I never want to wake up. Thank you for making me the happiest man alive. You have made my life complete and I never want to live one day without you in my arms. Thank you for saying yes when I asked, “Will you marry me?” You have turned my life in pure happiness. You are my smile and I love you…

Dear Mitch…
I cried as I watched you leave today. I didn’t want you to know, but I couldn’t stop myself. I know in your heart you felt it too. Did I ever tell you you’re my hero? You are everything I wish I could be. You are my hero and I am proud of you and your courage and your strength. Come home soon to me. I am waiting on you. Forever in my heart, a kiss forever on my lips, and they are for you only. I will think of you every hour. I miss you terribly. I love you. I know how courageous you are. You are the bravest man I know and I will never stop being grateful for the sacrifice you have mead for me, my family, my country…

I can’t help myself…
I’m falling in love with you. Please don’t be mad at me. I know we are only friends, but can’t we be friends and lovers too? Please don’t turn me away.
When I hear your voice, see your face, feel your soft skin, I cry at the thought of loosing you. Please, please, will you marry me? Say yes, and you will make me the happiest man in the world. Wear that red dress I love tonight if your answer is yes. I will see you at the park, okay? Please wear red! You look beautiful in red. It’s my favorite color. I give your red roses as a symbol of my love for you. I do love you, now, tomorrow, and forever.

Unique Wedding Favors

Unique Wedding Favors

You finally landed your knight on shining armor! Your new rock
sparkles on your finger, you’ve booked the church and the reception
site, and your dream dress has been ordered. Now, it's time to get
down to the nitty gritty. What colors do you want? Who will be your
Maid of honor? Which flowers should you choose? And what kind of
wedding favors would your guests really appreciate the most?
Your choice of wedding favors can be fun and memorable, but it can
also be a bit challenging. With so many choices and ideas put there,
be careful not to let it overwhelm you. A super fun and easy idea is a
candy table. You can go with many different themes: fruit, chocolate,
cookies, vintage choices, or homemade goodies. For containers you can
use monogrammed boxes, or little Chinese takeout boxes in colors that
match your theme. If your wedding is formal, then you can choose wine
glasses. These are so elegant! Couples will leave with a matching set
of glasses! If children will be attending, you can offer plastic sets
for them. To make your favors more special for close family (parents,
grandparents, siblings) you can monogram the glasses with your new
name!
Here are a few great ideas for goodies on your candy and cookie table.
• Custom color your serving containers. Maybe use all white platters
and bowls. Or all clear glass or patterned crystal. You can add color
to your table by placing coordinating tissue paper on each plate or
stand.
• A nice, clean touch would be to use candy and icing that match. Are
your colors lime and hot pink. Use green and pink jelly beans, mm' s,
sweet tarts, and jolly ranchers. If you are having cookies and cakes,
be sure the icing is green and pink.
• Are you having a chocolate bar? You can choose a variety of
chocolate. Try truffles, dark and white chocolate fondue, Hershey
Kisses, chocolate cookies, chocolate covered nuts and raisins, and
even tiny slices of brownies and chocolate cake. Anything chocolate
counts!
• Another unique idea would be to host a sundae bar. Provide your
guests with two or three flavors of ice cream and go wild with the
topping choices! They can take home their sundae cups and spoons!
• Here is a final idea. Host a drink bar. You can offer a huge choice of
punches, specialty drinks, milkshakes, hot chocolates, slushiest, or
flavored coffees. Of course, your guests get to take home their
beverage glass or cup.  These will make great memory keepers. Everyone
will remember your special day each time they reach for their new
glass!
